This week I am joining an athletic club! It will be the first time in 20ish years. I've been working out at home with body weight and some bar weights and I walk a lot, but I am looking forward to getting the chance to use the equipment at a gym. The "before" picture was last fall. The "after" pictures are today. They are going to be my "before gym" pictures. I just want to encourage anyone who thinks it is too hard or you can't change. I started in January with an obese BMI. I have worked hard, but I didn't know at nearly 47 (this month) that a real change was still possible for me. 45 pounds down with some muscles added and I feel like a totally new person! I know for a fact without you all and FS I would not have made the changes to my life I needed. I feel like I am bragging or something. I really don't mean to, but I am so thankful!

You deserve to show your progress without feeling like you're bragging. That gives it a bad connotation. Great going. Looking great!

Princess!! 😁 I've got some muscles, but not like you! Don't think I'll ever be there! I could use some more work for sure. Thank you Pretty, HCB, peeper (you, dear, have no reason to be!! 😁) tamaranyc! Eggroll, thank you! I think I really am more thankful than proud! I'm still sort of disbelieving! 😁

You are an inspiration and I look forward to the next chapter too! Your tone and definition are already awesome, but you were beautiful in all your before pics too - as Courtney said - beautiful inside and out. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
